Ventilation and refrigeration equipment for a potato storage (intended for 5 000 tons)

Development of a microclimate system for the container storage of potatoes in an ultra-modern storehouse (intended for 5 000 tons).

Client

“Knysh” Family Farm is a vegetable producer.

Objective

Using modern technologies - to maximize the preservation of potato marketability and weight until June.

Create a four-section storage with centralized automatic control and the automated operation of the ventilation and mechanical-refrigeration system.

Solution

To use aspiration-system technology.

To use refrigerants that were specially designed for vegetable storage.

The chambers are equipped with a high-pressure humidification system.

Distinguishing features

Operational stages:

• Project development
• Purchase of equipment and materials
• Delivery
• Installation
• Start-up and adjustment operations

Design engineers and the construction department were in charge of the project, as well as company specialists in the area of ventilation and cooling equipment.

Due to a spike in potato prices, the client decided to have one of the sections equipped with a mechanical refrigeration system in February. Delivery was made within a tight turnaround time. The equipment was installed when potatoes were already inside the storage room.

The refrigeration equipment was assembled on a single frame so that installation work would not take up too much space.

Our cooperation is ongoing. The next storage phases are to be released soon.
